Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 223 The prototype of the linkage of the Legend League music universe!
"You are the DP band! And everyone has seen your work!"

"In this situation, there are too few stars who can guarantee that they will not be outshined."

Lord sighed.

Good news, the partners are super strong.

Bad news, they're a bit too strong.

There is almost no need to question the stage effects and quality.

But unfortunately, there is a problem of pressure on the stage.

Once Cassius was suppressed on the stage, the whole opening performance would be ruined. No matter how you look at it, it seems that it would be better to let the DP band go up and sing two songs to liven up the atmosphere and then start the competition.

Furthermore.

It’s still because of Cassius’s identity as a black brother.

Maybe you will get support from some people, but you will definitely be criticized by many people.

The problem with the lighthouse is more serious than imagined.

After all, not everyone is a DP.

Cassius is completely not on the same level as the DP band in terms of supporters and market share it can bring.

How many black guys support Cassius?

How big is the vast Xiaguo market behind the DP band?

And what about strength?

The strength of the DP band is enough to break the Knight, but Cassius is not yet at that level.

"Li, don't worry, I will take care of the public opinion."

Lord sighed.

He spoke seriously.

"This does not mean that we will cut off cooperation with Cassius. It is simply because after discussion and research, we all agree that he is not suitable for this stage."

"Let's try to make up for the cooperation in other places as much as possible."

At the lighthouse.

It's a winner-takes-all situation.

The DP band won the opening ceremony and also won the skin linkage.

On the other hand, Cassius lost the opening, but he may also lose the opportunity for cooperation afterwards. At least, in the Pentakill Rock Project, Cassius' cooperation will have to be postponed.

It seems like he feels a little guilty.

Lord spoke more unconsciously.

"Come to think of it, Cassius is pretty unlucky. He tried hard to seize this opportunity because he wanted the kids in his community to see their idol in the game. Unfortunately, it's not appropriate. We can't let more players lose the complete experience of the opening ceremony for his dream."

I heard this.

Li Can nodded and thought about it.

"Well, I have an idea. Are you free tomorrow?"

"I'm free, either offline or online. If you want offline, please give me a time and I'll pick you up. Do I need to call Cassius?"

Hear what Lord said.

Li Can frowned slightly.

"How about this, you ask Cassius first if he is willing to fulfill his wish at the cost of revealing his scars, and the conditions for cooperation may be very harsh."

"If he agrees, I'll go over. If he disagrees, forget it. Just pretend I never said anything. It will save me a wasted trip."

"OK, no problem."

Lord nodded.

Although I don’t know what Li Can is going to do.

But I still chose to listen.

Maybe a better plan can be born.

After hanging up the phone.

Li Can raised his eyebrows.

Cassius is a wonderful person.

Despite his original extremely disgusted impression of Nei, Cassius was still the first black buddy with whom he could have a calm chat.

In this case, it is not a bad idea to give some advice or create an opportunity. It just depends on whether he can seize it.

If you can't catch it, it has nothing to do with you.

But obviously.

Cassius's inner obsession seems to be very strong.

After hanging up the phone.

Lord called Cassius to ask for his opinion.

It didn't take long.

Li Can saw Lord's message on his mobile phone.

He agreed.

Silent all night.

The next day.

Li Can and Winnie rushed to Los Angeles.

From New York to Los Angeles, across the east and west coasts of the entire lighthouse.

After getting off the plane, it was already dinner time when we arrived at Hammer Technology.

However, Lord and Cassius waited early and waited until the evening.

"Lee, you're here, Winnie, hello."

Lord walked up, greeted the two of them, and then went to the conference room together to discuss business.

Although it is a meeting room.

But some exquisite food was still prepared.

Of course, American style is exquisite and as caloric as ever.

"Cassius, I ask you again, are you willing to realize your wish at the cost of having your scars exposed?"

Li Can looked at Cassius.

He asked very seriously.

This question determines whether you will choose to help Cassius later.

After all, if I can help, I can.

But if he doesn't want to, Li Can won't be overly sympathetic.

"Yes! Of course I do!"

Cassius answered with almost no hesitation.

He looked at Li Can with burning eyes.

But you can see that there is a lot of anxiety in his eyes, as if he is afraid of being disappointed again.

"OK, I'll just say it straight then."

Li Can nodded.

He began to explain.

"In the League of Legends, there is a hero called Time Assassin, Ike."

"If I remember correctly, he also grew up in the dark streets of Zaun. If we use part of Ekko's background and combine it with Cassius's past to carry out related planning and design and linkage, I think it is feasible to expand the music universe of League of Legends."

Li Can glanced at Lord.

Lord's eyes lit up.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

Hammer Technology's ambition in virtual music is clear to see.

Being willing to pay a huge price for long-term reservations with the DP band is nothing more than exchanging the huge base of players as a publicity and promotion channel, and relying on the popularity of the DP band to get through the most difficult fermentation period before the launch of the music universe.

It would be perfect if there were good ideas and thoughts to expand this musical universe.

"Cassius grew up in the slums, but because of his musical talent and luck, he succeeded and after becoming famous, he was willing to return to the slums often to help the children."

"Then let's set it up like this: Ekko is a talented musician in Zaun. After becoming famous, he did not choose to flee the slums. Instead, he wanted to become a role model for children and inspire the next generation with music."

Li Can's thoughts are brief.

But this made Lord and Cassius applaud.

Cassius became excited, and Lord was even more surprised.

Don't say it.

Think about it this way.

The setting of Ike is really very similar to Cassius's past experience. With a little adjustment, it will not only not be abrupt, but it may even start a whole series.

With Pentakill Rock in front.

Naturally, Hammer Technology has also considered other music models.

But it's just a thought. In the eyes of Hammer Technology, the most important thing is to implement the Pentakill Rock Plan.

"I think we can add some settings and linkages."

Inspired by Li Can.

An idea also flashed in Cassius' mind.

He looked at Li Can with some gratitude and spoke to Lord.

“For example, the reason Ekko had the opportunity to step onto the big stage and become an idol in the eyes of children was because of the encouragement and support from the Pentakill rock band Olaf.”

“This better conveys the image of music conveying power.”

"Great! This is an even better idea!"

There was even more surprise in Lord's eyes.

I never expected that this brief conversation tonight would generate so much joy.

Cassius's suggestion.

In an instant, Ekko's story was linked to the story of the Pentakill rock band.

In this case.

In the future, it will become easier to build the story of the League of Legends music universe.

Based on today's ideas and gradually expanding, the series of stories will continue to grow and interact with reality.

"But, Li, in this case, it seems that there is no need to open any scars."

"Because I haven't finished yet."

Hearing Cassius' question, Li Can shook his head.

Pull up a song demo from your phone.

Connected to the speakers and started playing.

As soon as the prelude sounded, Cassius was seen trembling all over.

The eye-catching prelude like an exclamation mark can be remembered almost instantly. In Cassius's opinion, such a prelude will definitely become the greatest prelude.

The song is called "Gangster Paradise".

"Gangsta's Paradise".

Just the opening sentence "I hate traveling, but I still wear sunglasses" made Cassius feel what a top metaphor is.

In fact, this sentence contains slang words if you look at the original vocabulary.

Trip refers to gang violence, and Ioc is the name of the Crips. The metaphor is "I hate gang violence, but I have to join a gang in order to survive."

The song title creates a contrast between the gangs heading downwards and the heaven heading upwards.

In the subsequent songs.

The explanation of the lyrics [Tell me why we can't see the truth and the light, we only hurt you and me] made Cassius feel extremely touched.

He looked at Li Can in shock.

I have no idea why Li Can knows me so well, and even understands the life in the black slum community.

As if he read the doubt in Cassius' eyes, Li Can laughed.

"The problems you have encountered are understandable to everyone in Xia Country. They are nothing more than the deviation and mud of society, which weave countless tragedies with vicious cause and effect. In essence, it is not a color issue, but a class issue."

"It's nothing more than not seeing the essence of the problem, which led to the phenomenon of mutual destruction among the lower classes. To put it bluntly, it's still because of lack of education."

Cassius and Lord both looked at Li Can in shock.

What Li Can said seemed a bit beyond the scope.

But only Winnie, who had remained silent, knew that Li Can was not exaggerating.

When it comes to keyboard politics, we really have to look to Xia Guo.

When we have a meal and chat a little, all the compliments we say are true.

"There is a saying in our Xia country: pity their misfortune and be angry at their lack of struggle. If you want others to respect you, you have to act in a good way."

"The reason why I have to limit the songs is because I want to tell you that there is no swearing in real music. If you want to sing for children, you have to pay more attention to the content."

Li Can chuckled.

"Don't look at me like that. This is such an obvious truth. If you find it incredible, I recommend two books to you. If you think they are good, you can also show them to the children who admire you."

"what book?"

"Ah, one selection, one overview."

"no problem."

Cassius spoke again firmly.

"Well, let's talk about other things next."

Li Can nodded without further delay.

He spoke bluntly.

"In Xia Country, there were black guys who were obsessed with their lower bodies and caused trouble in our homeland. During my study abroad, black guys also tried to use school violence against me. I endured it for a long time and finally beat them up."

"So, I hate Black very much. If we want to cooperate, I need you to sing this song for free as Ike's first song. All the proceeds from the song will not belong to you, and you need to sing it frequently."

As soon as these words came out.

Lord's face was a little shocked.

Li Can always does something so exciting that people can't help but feel excited.

Such expression.

Just walk down Lighthouse Street and say.

You will soon become the target of public criticism.

Furthermore, the conditions are indeed harsh.

This means that Cassius is working for a fee and helping others make money.

But it was beyond Lord's expectation.

Cassius didn't hesitate at all and agreed instantly. Not only was there no dissatisfaction in his attitude, but he was even quite happy.

"I thought it was something else. It's totally fine! If it really works, a good start is better than anything else. Even if Li participates in the commercial share of subsequent works, it's understandable. After all, this idea can be regarded as the original stock."

There was a pause and silence for a moment.

Cassius sighed.

"Lee, I'm sorry you had this experience. I understand your disgust very well. However, I'm glad that I'm the one who can break your impression of black."

Li Can was a little surprised when he heard this.

However, after a brief surprise, there was a knowing smile.

There is always someone who can break the stereotype.

Just like DP themselves.

As a yellow person, he has made a name for himself in the European and American markets and has a huge number of fans. But who can guarantee that there are no prejudices against Asians among his fans?
However, for the strong, all they need to do is break such prejudices.

The content of the conversation then became simpler.

After the chat.

Li Can and Winnie left the studio and returned to the hotel.

Lord and Cassius did not leave.

We are still discussing the detailed planning for the future.

As for Li Can asking for all the profits from the song, Cassius not only did not think it was excessive, but also felt that he had gotten a bargain.

After all, subsequent creation, extension and supplement of series planning content is not a difficult task.

All beginnings are hard.

Li Can seemed to have just given a suggestion, but its importance to Cassius was self-evident.

Even an idea came into Cassius' mind.

A portion of the profits from the subsequent series of skins must be transferred to Li Can.

In Cassius's mind, the meaning of this song "Gangsta's Paradise" is so important that even if he just sings it, it is worth a sky-high price.

"I didn't expect that Li actually knows hip-hop. This song is really good."

Lord sighed.

I couldn't help but play "Gangsta's Paradise" again.

However, after hearing this, Cassius shook his head and spoke softly.

“No, he’s more hip-hop than me.”

In Lord's puzzled eyes.

Cassius shook his head in admiration.

For slum communities.

Music should be a yearning for beauty and a criticism of injustice, rather than a pursuit of material desires and crime.

This lesson is worth a thousand gold.

“He really understands hip-hop.”
